| What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat? I went from Quad ESL-63s to Gallo Reference 3s about 2 years ago. I liked the Ref 3s because I thought they offered a very ML-type sound in a more reasonably sized package. I loved the Quads and used them for many years, but they restricted my mus... | |
| I've come to the realization... Try DiMarzio M-Path Interconnects and Super M-Path Speaker Cables. I use them with my Gallo Ref3's. They are in your price range and a great value. Additionally, they provide the sound you seek and compete with much more expensive calbes.Good Luck... | |

| Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? If you are looking for owners that have stuck with them for awhile, I upgraded from Quad ESL-63's to Gallo Ref 3's about 2 years ago after auditioning countless other speakers. I have written a lot about them on these forums, and still think as hi... | |
| what is an audiophile ? On these forums, audiophiles listen to their equipment while music lovers listen to music. "Audiophiles" might listen to the same few songs over and over because they happen to sound good on their system.Beware of those that overly critisize audio... | |
| help with a lush 50 watt+ amp If you want a vintage tube sound, why not try a vintage amp? If you can live with a few less watts, a Fisher 400 might do the trick.Jeff | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 Evita,Your experience with the Druids was very different from mine. Please give a few more specifics about your auditions. Where did you hear them? What were the associated componenets? How long did you listen? What types of music did you listen t... | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 Evita,Thanks for the response. I can't explain how two watts and a speaker that rolls off at 40 Hz performs with so little compromise. I'm sure that's a secret that Zu and Yamamoto want to keep.I have auditioned countless single driver, high-effec... | |

| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 I finally heard the Zu Druid. I posted a review in the review section.Jeff | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 One concern I have with the Druids is that it seems to be a small handful of enthusiasts that rush to claim how great they are at every opportunity. The fan base does not seem as wide-spread as for components that I would consider true classics su... | |
| Best amp for gallo ref3a speakers What's your price range, music preference, etc.? Are you looking for solid state or tubes?I am having very good luck with a pair of Cary 805C's.Jeff | |
| Cary 300SEI & Western Electric 300b I have tried KR 300bXLS, KR 842VHD, Sophia 300b Meshplates, and Western Electric 300B. I prefer the WE's over the rest. I don't think you'll be disappointed.The only way you could do better is by going with vintage Western Electrics.Jeff | |
| Wadia Durability Experience Questions I have a Wadia 850 that I bought new about 6 or 7 years ago. It has never been upgraded from stock, and I've never had a problem. In my opinion, it is still a great CD player and I have no plans to replace it.Jeff |
